I have come to the point where my tiller pilot actuator has come alive and behaves more or less as expected when testing at home. But it seems to think it is fitted on the port side and I'm going to have it on starboard side. Is there a setting for this or will it find out by itself. Sorry for very basic question, probably. Did some googling though.

you may end up having to reverse the wires going to the motor depending or make servo.gain negative, but easier you just switch the two motor wires.

The 9250 is better because it uses a fifo with 100 samples per second and averages them down to get lower noise.
The lsm9ds1 should work ok too, but although better compass, worse gyro (probably because of not averaging) and so maybe it works worse. Even better is you try both and let us know, but a complete re-calibration would be needed when switching the sensors and by then the wind could change and invalidate the test...

I will probably begin with the 9250 then. I might try both and in that case I will report back. However I have at least one month until launch time. Northerly latitudes and change of engine are main reasons for late launch.
